a single dose study of ly2605541 in participants with liver impairment

Conditions: Healthy Volunteers; Hepatic Insufficiency; Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Summary: the primary purpose of this study is to help answer the following research questions: * to evaluate how much of the study drug (ly2605541) is in the blood of participants with varying degrees of liver impairment compared to those with normal liver function * to assess the safety of ly2605541 and any side effects that might be associated with it

the study is conducted in 4 groups, based on the child-pugh classification of hepatic impairment as follows: group 1: participants with normal hepatic function (control); group 2: participants with mild hepatic impairment (child-pugh class a); group 3: participants with moderate hepatic impairment (child-pugh class b); and group 4: participants with severe hepatic impairment (child-pugh class c).
